I agree but they suck as bad as Iowa
So maybe that means we should hire someone who failed at Iowa State as our next coach. Perhaps it's an omen.The funny thing is that McDermott was absolutely terrible at Iowa State and Hoiberg was awesome there.
Now McDermott is awesome at Creighton and Hoiberg is absolutely terrible here.
It's like this program can't have nice things.
Should have hired Otezlberger 4 years ago… But the majority of us did cartwheels over Moos’s Hoieberg hire including me..So maybe that means we should hire someone who failed at Iowa State as our next coach. Perhaps it's an omen.
You probably didn't even know who he was 4 years ago..Should have hired Otezlberger 4 years ago… But the majority of us did cartwheels over Moos’s Hoieberg hire including me..
And you’d be 110%..You probably didn't even know who he was 4 years ago..
If he would have been our coach we would have had our first NCAA tournament win by now..
Look who he has recruited through his time at Creighton..Based on what?
Chances are he would struggle here just as every other coach has.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's been like 25 years since Creighton fired a "major sport" head coach. That is unbelievable continuity in this day and age. And the good ones like McDermott and Booth seem content to never leave Omaha. I despise them, but their Admins are doing something right.
Look who he has recruited through his time at Creighton..
You have to get in the tournament before winning a game in the tournament and his teams at worst would be middle of the pack in conference and all’s you have to do is be .500 in conference play which majority of the time gets you in the dance..
On paper, Hoiberg appeared to be a no miss hire.Should have hired Otezlberger 4 years ago… But the majority of us did cartwheels over Moos’s Hoieberg hire including me..
only thing I can think of as McDermott got better at recruiting and Fred doesn’t like to recruit High School kids..So why would you say Hoiberg was way more successful than him at ISU yet…Mcdermott would be way more successful at Nebraska? Mcdermott was putrid at ISU

Come on, no expectations? Are you thinking of the other division 1 team in Omaha?Creighton. There are no expectations there.
NU seems to have some sort of expectation of "making the dance" every few years, which is why they keep firing dudes, because they don't make it.
Doug has offered people with his racist remarks, they have been caught cheating and his started the season ranked like 8? And is currently unranked with 8 losses and they got smoked by NU. It is pretty clear that there are no expectations in place. Clearly none about acceptable behavior and/or cheating.
Hoiberg did not out coach McDermott this year. Derrick Walker had a career night against a guy who played too many minutes dealing with a bout of mono.It helped that McDermott had an All-American caliber son who graduated high school right after he took the Creighton job.
But the answer seems to be that McDermott was willing to get dirty with recruiting. He got the talent there, whereas Fred hates recruiting and Matt Abdelmassih was a flop here. McDermott also seems to get the players that fit in his system/conference, while Fred has not gotten the type of players you need in the Big Ten.
I think if you gave both coaches the same level of talent, Fred would probably out-coach him most years. This year's game being an example.
No, I am not, but with that said, I DO think Trev made the right choice in dumping football to get D1 CBB. Omaha making the dance just one time will be a bigger deal than the Maverick FB team winning 5 championships in a row.Come on, no expectations? Are you thinking of the other division 1 team in Omaha?
Smoked by Nebraska, it was a 10 point game. If they’d play tomorrow Nebraska would lose by 20. You are clearly upset over something with Creighton and has lead you to make foolish remarks in here. If McDermott put up a 5 win season he’d be fired before year was over. Anyways would he succeed at Nebraska? No because apparently no one can.
I’ve said for months that it’s not them (coaches), it’s us. There’s just been something about NU that has made it difficult to win.The funny thing is that McDermott was absolutely terrible at Iowa State and Hoiberg was awesome there.

Lack of tradition in basketball. It's not easy to overcome. Perhaps for now we should be happy if we get a coach who qualifies for postseason tournaments 50% of the time and makes the Big dance about twice a decade.I’ve said for months that it’s not them (coaches), it’s us. There’s just been something about NU that has made it difficult to win.
